Antonymic As are formed from Vs by way of the derivational suffix -eer, e.g. ʄiʄ "to be clever"; ʄiʄu "clever"; ʄiʄeer "stupid" (067).

Agentive antonymic As are formed using a derivational suffix -ar, as in moof 'to sit', moof -aƭ 'to sit carefully', moof-aƭ-ar 'hyperactive person (lit. one who can't/doesn't sit carefully)' (168).
